it will only help if you have a seal that has stuck down because of combustion deposits or other buildups. Even then its use is a bit dubious. The yanks seem to like using ATF (automatic transmission fluid) to do the same job but I wouldn\'t advise anyone try it on a car with a cat. Redex is another trick used by the dealership my Dad used to work for to revive coked up engines

No, it does work. They also sell some stuff called \'Fairy dust\'.

I have sprinkled this stuf librally over my clapped out beemer and it starts first time, every time.
